About This Breed

History: The exact origins of the Old English Sheepdog are unclear, but the breed was likely developed in south central England during the early 1800s. During that time, the Old English Sheepdog was mainly used to drive cattle and sheep to market. It wasn't until the late 1800s that the Old English was identified as a breed of its own, and it also arrived in America around this time as well. The American Kennel Club (AKC) registered the Old English Sheepdog in 1905. In the following decades, the breed was used more as a show dog than a pet, but it became a more popular companion during the 1960s and 70s due to its appearance in movies and television.

Temperament: The Old English Sheepdog is a lovable, playful breed that thrives on being around its family. These dogs don't like being left alone for extended periods of time and are happiest when in the company of people. They do very well with children and are typically friendly with strangers. For the most part, Old English Sheepdogs are homebodies, but that doesn't mean they're inactive. These dogs need a moderate amount of daily exercise, both physical and mental. They are an intelligent breed and are always on the lookout for something interesting to do, making training relatively easy.
